My dear sweet Esteban passed away last night. He had a peaceful passing and was comfortable. He is now whole again and sitting at the feet of our Awesome God. His wish was to be pain free and not to suffer for weeks. His was granted his wish. He was up talking all day Saturday, and then yesterday he was sleeping and mumbling off and on. He took 2 final breaths and died. So peaceful. Thank you everyone for your support over the past two years. He fought a long battle and some will say he lost, but I say he received a crown of gold.
His motto was I have fought the good fight; I have finished my course. I have waiting a crown of gold waiting for me.
No more pain for Esteban

Michelle,
What a blessing for you to know where he is and what a heatbreak for you that he's not with you anymore. I'm praying for grace, comfort and mercy from the Father for you and the family.

Re: No more pain for Esteban
Michelle, I am so sorry for you and your family that Esteban has passed away. I agree that for him, this new life is much better than what he has experienced for the last two years. He and Jake and all who have passed away from this disease can now rest in the fullness of love that awaits all of us. I wish you peace in this time of major adjustment and that you have many to surround you to ease the emptiness that Esteban's passing is going to leave in your life. May God bless you and all your family.
